Ok so googling things might not be the best advise! Going by Moijan’s post pineapple should be avoided, yet the Cancer Research website promotes it as keeping your mouth fresh and moist, confusing much internet! I followed Aliand’s advice this time round and have been eating pineapple and drinking the juice and I’m yet to develop any mouth problems, although that could be the reduced dose I had as I’m still feeling good ?
Hope everyone else is doing ok and swimming along nicely in this lovely weather ???
I think we all find what we can tolerate Rosie.
I couldn’t stick to those foods on Mojians post. I think some people get lots of help with strict dietary things and it enhances their wellbeing. But I’m one who needs to find her own balance.
Glad your mouth is better this time, keep up with the mouth care. I’m using mine 2-3 times a day at the moment.
So tired been sitting outside most of the afternoon but unable to do much. Nice to be outside though.
Starting to see the light, if I have 2 more doses that means after my next one there only 1 left. I keep mulling this over in my head. It seemed so far away in bleak January when I started.
I did of course mean Amy not Rosie - chemo brain strikes again
Shi - we are having a ore prom gathering at our house, M&S ready made things will be order of the day I think ! How I’ll manage photos is another as my camera is heavy (proper camera girl me)
Ali and, that’ll be great having pre prom gathering, you get yourself glammed up too so you can have some photos too, because you are a glamour puss and beautiful, just get the phone out if cameras too heavy it won’t matter a jot to the selfie generation, click, click, click The beach awaits and that fans blowing the raft to shore at top speed now, keep looking forwards and focusing on your get together that you’ll all be having, it’ll be happening before you know it You are all ???and see how amazing you’ve navigated this, any ops and ??rads are a piece of lemon cheesecake compared to the Mississippi mud pie of chemo ??Shi xx
Sunshine is defo one of the best medicines! Feeling lots better, although my skin didn’t much enjoy the factor 50… it was a loss one but ive gone a tad spotty! Might have to invest in some hypoallergenic stuff.
Loving the sunny weather although it’s raining today !
Mopped floors , stripped bed , sorted summer wardrobe ( nothing fits ) had a bacon and egg sandwich which tasted lush ! Loving my good week xxxx.
Last night Thai meal out bare legs, one large glass of red. Today numb fingers, tongue and feel totally knackered! So frictkin weird isn’t it.? Lots of love xx

With you Jamesy, loving feeling well. Bearing in mind this time for the last 2 cycles I’ve been in hospital I’m feeling on top of the world. Lots of jobs done today. Got loads planned for next week.
Last chemo a week Monday. Really wanna get it done, but really don’t wanna feel yuck again either!
Relationship wise things have settled a bit again, but still feels like a big elephant in the room. have booked to see a financial advisor in a months time to see what kinda mortgage I can afford on a single income, just so I can see what all my options are before my OH and I have ‘the chat’.
Shocked, your bc unit should be able to give you chicken fillet or half a chicken fillet, I’ve got a half chicken fillet and it evens me up well. Also M&S have currently got some nice wonderbra ish post surgery bras currently in that hold the chicken fillet in place well, just a thought darling as I was wonky too from last August till March when mai7 kindly told me I should have been given a chicken fillet in the breast unit last year… hope that helps and ladies I call mine half a chicken fillet, so no offfence in anyway meant it’s just what I call mine ???Shi xx
Fel…I’m with Shi! Never trust a chest cough, give them a quick ring.
CT…so close to the last I am so excited for you. On the other note…crikey oh reily…that’s some hard core pragmatic bravery you are showing and I think you are amazing xxx
Shocked, I had a cheeky look back, there was a lot of you and me and we sounded terrified…we’ve all been through so much!!
On a practical not can any one recommend a bra for me post double mx and recon please xxx
Half doses are quite easy on my body as it turns out had a yuk weekend. Much more achy than will the full dose last round. But today I feel really well. But normal but I’ve done lots of things and eat.
It’s weird how you get used to a 3 week cycle though. Illl be having full dose chemo next week so I’ve got to try and get house ready for me to be ill and I don’t feel like I’ll have any time to be normal. It’s just straight back at it.
Gosh CT I really hope it does t come to that. I think we are all living in a weird alternate universes at the moment. I hoe your feelings/worries turn out to be just part of this cancer hell and you and hubby can get through this one day.
CTcscan tomorrow for op planning. Due to developing a rash the last time I have to take 60mg steroids tonight and 60mg at lunch tomorrow. I’m going to be so wired I could overtake mo farrah doing the London marathon ! 120mg in 24 hours ! ???
Swim ! Just call me Michelle Phelps ! Which way to the channel
All those steroids Aliand you wont need to clean the house just build a whole new one!!!
I hope you get to enjoy your week this week…
Im two weeks after my last Chemo and its finally sinking in. Usually at this time Im desperately trying to squeeze every enjoyable experience possible in, have to keep remembering I dont need to this time.
Im going to do a bank Ambulance shift next Sunday…that is something I need to squeeze in before surgery and I cant wait…
Ordered drain dollies yesterday, spent far to long deciding on the correct colours to order!!! Not sure why matching bags seemed so important…now I just need a bra?
Starfire how you doing?
CT How are you doing?
Fel are you feeling better?
Plenty of room on the raft ladies Im having a little swim time at the moment xx
